life imitated art

the exact same thing that happens to elly happened to me: i was 37 and found out i was pregnant with my 3rd daughter isabel. it was like she sat in the corner of my life and wrote the humor of it. in fact i went into labor while my husband was 45 minutes away on a school bus on his way to a cross country meet. my mom had to pick him up and bring him to the hospital where i delivered two hours later.

Lynn Johnson collection

If you are a fan of For Better or For Worse, as I am, there is no bad Lynn Johnston books. You know that the editor will have dupilcate material in them but they hold together well and some of them need the "refresher items" to make it easy for the new reader to understand the story line. This one is no exception. I love seeing the progress in the skills of the art work and seeing some of the material that went before I was aware if the humanistic nature of this author. Light reading/looking but a good book to fall asleep with.

The BEST FBFW book out there!

April was the little surprise that invigorated the series! She continues to be a main stay even when the story line goes to Michael, but this book was excellent.

Excellent!

40 years old, married, two kids, one job outside and one at home (make it 4 or 5...), one dog,.... and a new kid in April. great book from a great writer.

Johnston provides us with laughs and tears over the years

Johnston, having written for what seems to be a lifetime already, continues the story of the loveable "For Better or For Worse" family that many countries have come to love and treasure. One of the only 'real' families in comics, Johnston cleverly and eloquently mixes pain and laughter --- succinctly paraphrasing much of life."What, Me Pregnant?" is another chapter of the "For Better or For Worse" saga, with Elly finding herself pregnant... at 40! Her other kids in high school and preparing to go to college, this is unexpected and delightful for the fans of the series. This book tracks Elly's pregnancy and continues the personal tales of the other family members as they grow up -- and grow older. A wonderful book that will have you glued to the pages until the end.
